The identity and distribution of ant species preying on the
western spruce budworm (Choristoneura occidentalis Freeman) was
investigated in eastern Oregon and western Montana. A sticky trap was
developed to index ant foraging activity in the canopy by intercepting
ants falling from the tree as they traveled between canopy and...
Using clones to regenerate a species new to clonal reforestation presents the forest manager with many problems. A number of interrelated and interdependent research and development activites are needed to answer these technical questions. Network diagraming was used for scheduling research activities and for indicating interdependencies among activities. The resultant...
The major objectives of this study were: (1) to determine the extent to which southwest Oregon populations of Douglas-fir [Pseudotsuga menziesii var menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) differ in quantitative genetic structure (QGS); (2) to determine whether differences in QGS are associated with the environments from which populations originate; and (3) to...
This study had three objectives: (1) to determine the degree to which within-source genetic variation and genetic correlations differ among elevational sources of Douglas-fir [Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb). Franco var. menziesii]; (2) to ascertain the degree to which phenotypic stability differs among and within elevational sources; and (3) to compare the...
